Given this background, it was an absolute joy to address this highly qualified group of business leaders. In true University of Chicago spirit, the conversation was very engaging and the group was very keen to expand their knowledge. I am thankful to Chicago Booth and their partners, Northwest Executive Education, for inviting Indus Insights to lead the session."
